From the moment he stepped into the ward, Cheng Ruan seemed to be provoked by some protective mechanism, his expression was stiff and indifferent, his lips were tightly pursed, one hand held Cheng Youyang's hand, and clenched his fingers with all his might.

The pungent smell of disinfectant water in the hospital room was mixed with an indescribable smell of blood.

Cheng Ruan held his breath, his steps seemed to be nailed to the spot, his eyelids slowly lifted, and he looked at the person on the hospital bed.

Not far away, the man's whole body was full of various tubes, Cheng Ruan couldn't see his face, she turned her eyes, swept over the white futon, and accidentally found the futon on the man's legs...... Collapsing downward.

Cheng Ruan's heart throbbed violently, his eyes looked at the collapsed place with dull eyes, and for a while, he couldn't even breathe, and his face was red.

What about his legs?

What about Cheng Rongshan's legs?

Cheng Ruan began to gasp, she was at a loss, she was surprised, her mouth opened a slit, and she breathed twice rapidly.

She thought of a possibility, and the thought came together, and her legs suddenly went limp, and she almost didn't stand still.

Fortunately, Cheng Youyang supported her in time on the side.

For a while, Cheng Ruan didn't take another half a step forward, she didn't move, and she didn't let Cheng Youyang move, like grasping the last straw, she held his hand tightly.

Cheng Youyang saw her reaction in the bottom of his eyes, he hugged her weakly, his palm covered the back of her head, and rarely showed a gentle gesture, "Don't be afraid." ”

Cheng Ruan shook her head, she wanted to say that she wasn't afraid, she just ...... I don't know how to face Cheng Rongshan.

The movement of the two was neither big nor small, but it was enough for Cheng Rongshan to notice their arrival.

On the hospital bed, his face was pale, he opened his eyes very slowly, and moved his head with difficulty to look at the two of them.

Immediately after, he smiled, and his voice was weak: "Ruan Ruan, are you here......"

At this moment, Cheng Rongshan was still smiling.

Cheng Ruan didn't go any further, she tried to control her gaze, trying to make herself look like she didn't care at all, she asked Cheng Rongshan: "Why did you kidnap Zhao Xuanrui?" ”

Cheng Rongshan looked at her with a smile, and replied intermittently: "She, she threatens my daughter's happiness, of course I ...... Of course she can't be tolerated, besides, I'm ...... Haven't done anything for you yet. ”

"Daughter?" Cheng Ruan closed his eyes with a sad expression, "Cheng Rongshan, don't you think it's ridiculous when you say this?" If it weren't for the fact that Cheng Youyang and I were both Ye Hui's children, would you care about me? You're still going to keep saying it for me like you do now? Or have you forgotten all the things you've done before? ”

Cheng Ruan's questioning made Cheng Rongshan speechless.

Cheng Ruan didn't get an answer, he glanced at him quickly, and quickly looked away, "You forgot...... I haven't forgotten. She said.

Beside her, Cheng Youyang suddenly lowered his eyes and glanced at the hands of the two of them.

He could feel the sweat in her palms.

It's nervous...... Or are you afraid? Are you afraid to see Cheng Rongshan now, or are you afraid that Cheng Rongshan won't be able to hold on?

"I'm sorry for you."

Every time Cheng Rongshan said a word, he had to pause for a moment, and once he spoke too quickly, he would not be able to breathe.

"No matter, whether you believe it or not," he said to Cheng Ruan, "even if you are not a child of the Cheng family, I have never thought or thought of really hurting you...... And, from the very beginning, I have found a way back for you......"

Listening to his words, Cheng Ruan's body trembled slightly, she tried to control herself, shook her head and said, "I won't forgive you." ”

On the hospital bed, the man still had a faint smile on his face, and he didn't seem to expect his daughter to forgive him, he was still smiling, not affected by Cheng Ruan's words.

He began to recall: "The first time I took you back to Cheng's home, you were so young...... So soft ......"

As he spoke, he seemed to want to make a gesture, but after many attempts, it was difficult to lift his arms.

After a few more times, he gave up.

"In the blink of an eye, it's time to get married, but unfortunately, I can't see ......it," he said regretfully.

Cheng Ruan closed his eyes, his eyes were very sour.

Cheng Rongshan looked at them, as if he wanted to engrave the appearance of the two people into his eyes, and he couldn't get enough of it.

He noticed the two men holding hands, and a weak but relieved smile slowly appeared on his face.

"Yoyang, take care of your sister...... She has suffered so much. He instructed Cheng Youyang.

Cheng Youyang glanced at Cheng Ruan, who also happened to look at him, the two looked at each other for a moment, he pursed his lips lightly, and said, "I know." ”

"After I leave, you two brothers and sisters will be in this world for each other...... The only blood relative, the past, the past let it pass, you have to support each other, Youyang, you are an elder brother, usually, you must tolerate your sister more. ”

Cheng Rongshan's voice became weaker and weaker, in fact, he knew his current physical condition better than anyone else.

He knew he didn't live long.

"Youyang, I know, you have been resentful of me for not being able to correct your mother's name all these years......" At the beginning, because he had no choice but to succeed Cheng Youyang to her brother who died early, even Ye Hui ......

"No, that's all in the past." Cheng Youyang had already seen it.

I don't know what to think, Cheng Rongshan's expression changed, his eyes crossed the two of them, and looked in the direction of the door.

He asked, "Is Cheng Kite here?" ”

Cheng Ruan didn't speak, and stayed quietly behind Cheng Youyang, Cheng Youyang looked at her, thought for a moment, and replied to Cheng Rongshan: "Outside." ”

Cheng Rongshan retracted his gaze and looked at the ceiling, his expression could not see joy and sorrow.

After a while, he said: "Call Cheng Kite in, before I die, I want to see me and her children again." ”

Who this 'she' refers to, everyone present knows in their hearts.

Cheng Ruan suddenly wanted to laugh when she heard this, she felt pathetic, and she felt pathetic for Fang Shuqi.

Fang Shuqi has loved Cheng Rongshan for so many years, and when he was alive, he didn't get the slightest respect, and now he just died, and the man who kept saying that he didn't love her began to show his thoughts about her......

Cheng Rongshan's voice was weak, and the volume was naturally not loud, so he repeated to the two, "Go and call...... Call her ......"

"Ahem, ahem—"

Before he finished speaking, Cheng Rongshan suddenly coughed non-stop, and even began to vomit blood.

Cheng Youyang hurriedly stepped forward to check.

Cheng Ruan was still standing still, she seemed to be scared stupid, looking at the man's weak appearance and crippled body, and finally, she couldn't help but shed tears.

Cheng Rongshan's eyes were still looking in the direction where she was standing, and under Cheng Ruan's gaze, his eyes became confused little by little.

Suddenly, he smiled lightly at the void behind her, and even his voice was a little soft, "You're coming to pick me up...... I'm sorry, Fang Shuqi, I'm sorry...... Thank you for coming and meeting me......"

As he spoke, a tear silently crossed the corner of the man's eye, ran down his skin, and soaked the pillow.

On the hospital bed, the man raised his hand with difficulty and stubbornness, as if trying to grasp something.

Looking at this scene, tears blurred Cheng Ruan's vision, and when she couldn't see anything clearly, the arm that was raised with difficulty in her vision seemed to lose all her strength and fell heavily on the bed.

As the man's arm hung down, Cheng Youyang rang the call bell, Cheng Ruan's tears became more and more fierce, and he muttered unconsciously: "Dad......"

Cheng Ruan almost threw herself forward, she didn't dare to touch him, she didn't dare to look at his legs, she only dared to touch his cheeks lightly.

Her skin was soft, and her father's body was still hot.

Cheng Ruan stretched out his hand and gently shook the man who brought her up, why didn't he speak?

Obviously, his body is still warm, and he was still telling her to get along with Cheng Youyang just now, and he was still standing in front of her the last time they met.

Didn't you say it was up to her to get married? Didn't you say that you wouldn't hurt her again?

“…… Father! ”

Cheng Ruan found Cheng Rongshan's hand, held it tightly, rubbed his hand to prevent his body from cooling down, and kept talking to him: "I forgive you, do you wake up, I forgive you......"

"Dad, don't leave me so early, don't leave me, you know, I've relied on you the most since I was a child, and I can't do without you!"

“…… You can't do that, wake up...... You said you were going to watch me get married......"

"Ruan Ruan......" Cheng Youyang stopped Cheng Ruan's almost gaffe on the side, "Don't do this." ”

When Xu Yunjie followed in behind the medical staff, he saw Cheng Ruan being held in Cheng Youyang's arms, and his face was full of tears.

His gaze narrowly condensed as he swept towards the lifeless man on the hospital bed.

Although the doctors and nurses were rescuing, everyone present knew that Cheng Rongshan would not survive.

He originally wanted to pick up Cheng Ruan from Cheng Youyang's arms, but seeing Cheng Ruan helplessly leaning on Cheng Youyang, Xu Yunjie didn't step forward again.

He knows better than anyone how much Cheng Ruan lacks love and needs family affection.

No matter how hard she usually is, no matter how much she shows that she doesn't need the Cheng family, she can't change her thirst.

Cheng Kite came in after Xu Yunjie, in fact, when she heard the movement in the ward, she knew that from now on, she and Cheng Ran would be orphans.

-

Cheng Ruan was excited, Cheng Youyang returned her to Xu Yunjie, and Xu Yunjie took Cheng Ruan out of the ward.

"Xu Yunjie, my dad is gone."

"I know I shouldn't cry, I can't be soft-hearted...... But I ......"

Cheng Ruan's voice choked, "He died in front of my eyes...... I can't take it. ”

Before, she never dared to imagine how painful she would be when her loved ones left.

It's really now, it's false to say that she is not sad and uncomfortable, but when that moment really comes, she doesn't seem to be as painful as she imagined.

Therefore, some injuries and some estrangements cannot be easily erased once they occur.

In front of Xu Yunjie, Cheng Ruan can always calm down quickly, she calmed her breathing, and said with a stunned gaze: "I could have helped him intercede, but like that...... That would be unfair to Su Youen. ”

Xu Yunjie hugged her shoulders and sighed: "Cheng Ruan, just be yourself, don't say so much, I understand." ”

When Cheng Ruan calmed down completely, he said to her, "You weren't in the corridor just now, so there's something you don't know yet...... A few minutes ago, the police arrested your grandmother for intentional homicide. ”

Cheng Ruan's eyes flashed slightly, and she glanced into the corridor, but she didn't notice that Sun Huiying was not there.

"Intentional homicide?" She didn't understand what Xu Yunjie meant.

Could it be that Su Youen's death was still related to Sun Huiying?

Before Cheng Ruan could ask what was going on, Cheng Rongshan's assistant walked out of the ward and walked towards her.

came out behind the assistant, as well as Cheng Youyang.

"Mr. Cheng, Mr. Cheng left a will, and after his death, all his property will be inherited by you and handed over to you for full disposal."

The assistant's official and slightly rigid voice is particularly abrupt at this time.

Cheng Ruan slowed down before she realized that the 'Mr. Cheng' in the assistant's mouth meant her.

All the property was left to her?

Cheng Ruan subconsciously looked at Cheng Youyang, who looked flat, as if he was not surprised by this result in the slightest, and he didn't care much about it.

Cheng Ruan got up and stared at him, she called him: "Cheng Youyang." ”

The man kept his eye on her.

Cheng Ruan took a deep breath and said to him, "Aren't you ashamed of me? Then stay in Baicheng and work for me, and be my subordinate for the rest of my life. ”

Cheng Youyang paused for a moment, as if judging whether she was serious about what she said, and for a moment, seeing that she didn't have the slightest intention of retreating, he nodded shallowly.

"Okay." He promised her that he would not leave the White City.

He would never, not leave her.
